My mistake! You're right - there ARE some o2 tariffs out there that
do.
The reason I thought not was that somehow my girlfriend managed to get
upgraded to the "Long Weekends" tariff, and as we found...
"A usage limit of 2,000 minutes to UK mobiles and UK landlines per
billing month applies. Calls to 0844, 0845 and 0870 numbers are
excluded from the free long weekend minute allowance."

So I stand thoroughly corrected - useful to know, too!
